Levine joined The Voice in its debut season in 2011. After being a series mainstay for 16 seasons, the “Sugar” singer’s departure from the show was announced in May 2019.

“[The Voice] went on to be a life shaping experience that will be close to my heart forever,” he wrote via Instagram at the time. “Thank you NBC for signing me up. I am truly honored to have been a part of something I’ll always cherish for the rest of my life. Thank you to every single coach I ever sat in those chairs with. That is [a] shared experience that is singularly ours. We have that for life. Thank you to everyone who supported this long strange and amazing left turn into a place I never thought I’d go.”

Months after his exit, Levine explained what contributed to him choosing to part ways. “I do miss it, but also, I don’t miss how much I had to work,” the Begin Again actor said on The Ellen DeGeneres Show in October 2019.

“I was constantly working for so many years — very lucky, very fortunate, very blessed and all that — but to just be able to stop in this moment to spend time with my new young family and just have the greatest time ever,” he continued. “Now, I’m a stay-at-home dad. I just stay at home and do very little.”

Gwen Stefani stepped in following Levine’s exit in late 2019. In October of this year, the 51-year-old No Doubt frontwoman announced her engagement to Shelton, who has been a part of the series since season 1.
